Narrative Feature. Guy, 26, lives in the sleepy oceanside town of Bedford Springs. Feeling trapped by his small-town surroundings, with no girlfriend, no job, and six weeks behind on his rent, he's sinking quickly. Guy realizes he needs to make a change, and fast. Guy's closest and only friend, Carl, feels trapped too: he's desperate to break up with his girlfriend Julie, and move out of the house he shares with his overweight mother. Driving by the beach one morning with Carl, Guy encounters a mysterious and beautiful young woman, (The Girl), and the pair soon become lovers. Seeing a better life may finally be within reach, but now seriously low on cash, Guy enlists Carl in a series of small-time robberies. But Guy's well-laid plans quickly begin to unravel, and his life takes a turn he could never predict. Well-acted, funny, and completely original, Bedford Springs is a slice-of-life dark romantic comedy audiences will never forget. Featuring music by: Muddy Waters, Patsy Cline, Lucy Kaplansky, Jon Rosenberg, and F. Schubert. Written and Directed by Marc Berlin.
